Chapter 844

After taking a sip of the fragrant radish, the emperor said calmly: "I am suffering from a chronic disease and have become blind. My deadline is coming at any time. This is God's will. There is nothing to complain about. What I am worried about is that in the future,

After passing away, the country and the country will be in turmoil, and all life will be in ruins. Therefore, I want to support each other in the future before I die."

Yin Jun sighed sadly, and then solemnly replied: "Your Majesty, no matter what your orders, I will not disobey you."

"Well! The trip to Nanyang really benefited me a lot. Not only did I come into contact with advanced manufacturing technology, but I also learned about advanced governance models. At the same time, it also gave me a glimpse of a faint corner of the future world. However, the biggest gain is

Yes, I have truly experienced Qi Aiqing's daring loyalty. This trip was indeed not in vain."

"Qi Aiqing's loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth, and I have no doubt about it. It can be said that with him guarding Nanyang, foreign thieves will never dare to commit crimes! There is no danger of foreign troubles, only potential internal troubles remain, and among many

Among the internal worries, the ambitions of the vassal kings are the most important, and then there are the rebellious ministers. These must be guarded against. In view of this, I have decided to grant you an imperial power to restrain those who are selfish.

As well as people with ulterior motives, they want to protect the growth of the heir."

Granted authority?

Could it be the legendary Shang Fang sword?

Yin Jun's eyes narrowed upon hearing this, showing a solemn expression.

Facts have proved that Mr. Yin guessed wrong this time.

What the emperor gave him was a half-broken sword sheathed in gold and jade.

Knife? Or broken?

What does this mean?

Seeing Yin Jun's confused face, the emperor explained: "The word "Juanzhe" means to make decisions with strategy; and "Sword" means to cut with a bloody blade; the two together mean that you can make arbitrary decisions with this knife.

In major matters, anyone who refuses to comply can be directly killed! Even if it is a proposal in the cabinet, there is a veto power."

ah!

What a great right!

Yin Jun came to his senses, quickly lifted his shirt, bowed down, and accepted the sword with the most solemn and respectful etiquette.

"My dear sir, you must remember that the greater the power you hold, the greater the responsibility you shoulder. Those who fulfill their duties will be remembered for eternity, but those who use public weapons for private purposes will be infamy for eternity. Your Majesty, I must be for the former."

"I hope that you will act with virtue, the law, and etiquette, and that everything will be done appropriately, no matter how big or small. While stabilizing the court, you can also frighten the unpredictable harem, and do your best to protect the young prince until he grows up.

Adult."

"Your Majesty, Yin Jun, will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust!"

"Well, get up."

After the ceremony, the two sat down again.

As they finished chatting about business matters, the atmosphere became more relaxed. The two of them ate and drank, enjoying themselves very much.

As if unintentionally, Yin Jun tried a question and asked: "Your Majesty, why don't you give this power to Mr. Lu Boxuan? In terms of resume and qualifications, I am not half as good as him; in terms of prestige and reputation, I am also much inferior. In that case

, Why does Your Majesty have to settle for the next best thing?"

It's really puzzling.

It also goes against the old logic of seniority in officialdom.

After hearing this, the emperor put down his chopsticks and said quietly: "I will tell you something that I have experienced personally! Under the rule of Qi Yu, there was a well-educated boy named Guo Chunhai. He was knowledgeable and dared to speak out, which is really rare.

He is an unparalleled talent at first sight. He will definitely be a great talent in the future!"

"However, in him, I found a precious literary character. He is not flattered by money, and is not afraid of power. He pleads for the people and speaks for the country. He has a pure integrity that is as good as water.

.”

Guo Chunhai?

Why does it feel so familiar?

I remembered that my sister Yin Tao had introduced this son to me, so I had an impression of him.

Yin Jun smacked his lips, seemingly thoughtful.

Seeing that he was listening respectfully, the emperor continued: "Looking at the whole court, I can see that you are the only one with such integrity. It is for this reason that I gave up Lu Boxuan and chose you. This sword can only be used by you."

With your hands in hand, you can use your words to speak out the righteous words of admonishment."

Although these words were full of praise, Yin Jun was still flustered.

I am a dignified second-grade official, how can I compare with a child like him?

Besides, the little guy’s background is, ahem...

Alas, forget it, we adults don't remember the faults of villains and won't care about them.



While the emperor was chatting with Yin Jun, Qi Yu and Meng Jiming were having a drink in private.

Look, four side dishes, a bottle of water and wine, it is still a pure old-fashioned set meal.

However, compared to Yin Jun, Meng Jiming's treatment was significantly higher, as evidenced by the chicken, fish, meat and eggs on the table.

well, let's get back to business.

The two first exchanged views on the current political situation, and then looked forward to future development.

Meng Jiming believes that the emperor has done his best to calm the political turmoil, and the situation for all parties is excellent. How can there be any unfounded worries?

However, Qi Yu disagreed.

He felt that it was too early to say good things now.

"Oh? Brother Xian, why do you think so?"

"I can't say exactly why. However, I always feel that somewhere unseen, there is an unidentified secret force lurking. They are spying on the political situation, waiting for opportunities, and trying to take advantage of it."

What? Intuition?

Isn’t this a bit too ridiculous?

Qi Yu shook his head and said, "Brother, don't laugh. I'm not just lying, I'm more or less based on some facts."

Meng Jiming asked curiously: "What's the basis?"

"Let me put it this way. His Majesty's illness and the construction of the mausoleum have spread like wildfire, and the news of the related mountain collapse has also been spread all over the world. Everyone in the officialdom is aware of it and knows it well.

.”

"Then, here comes the question! When His Majesty's dragon body was still healthy, the vassal kings still made discord from time to time, and there were even rebels like King Yan and King Yong. But now, the emperor's life is hanging by a thread.

Not only did they not take the opportunity to attack, but they all kept their mouths shut. Isn't this strange?"

Huh?

Not to mention, it seems that this is really the case.

The current political arena is really too quiet, so quiet that it seems a bit out of control.

"My dear brother, are you suspecting that a feudal lord is plotting something evil?"

"It's possible, but I'm not sure. To be honest, if it weren't for this concern, I would have taken off my disguise and appeared in public."

"What are you so afraid of?"

"I am not afraid, but I act rationally. Once my identity is exposed, it is impossible to carry out secret attacks. Those who live in the light can only be passive and not active. In this case, why should I be clear?"

Qi Yu believes that the best strategy is to lie dormant and wait for changes.

If something unexpected happened, it would be like a mantis stalking a cicada while an oriole stalks behind.

Therefore, you must stay calm.
